Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
in management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such interim periods. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to SEC regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The interim results for the periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full calendar year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Note 2.  Pending Acquisition

Vectra's acquisition of Bank Land Company, the parent of Southwest State Bank,
received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and the State of
Colorado Division of Banking in April 1996. The acquisition , which has been
approved by the Boards of Directors of Bank Land Company, Southwest State Bank
and Vectra Banking Corporation, is subject to, among other contingencies,
approval by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the shareholders of
Bank Land Company and Southwest State Bank. The shareholders of Bank Land
Company and Southwest State Bank will receive a combination of cash and a new
Vectra Banking Corporation convertible preferred stock issue for a total
consideration of approximately $22.3 million.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

It is presumed that readers of these interim financial statements have read or
have access to the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
included in Vectra's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Vectra maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level considered by
management to be adequate to cover the risk of loss in the loan portfolio at a
particular point in time. Management's judgment as to whether an additional
amount should be added to the reserve in excess of the amount of loan losses
takes into consideration a number of factors, including loss experience in
relation to outstanding loans and existing level of the reserve for losses, a
continuing review of problem loans and overall portfolio quality, regular
examinations of loan portfolios conducted by Vectra's staff and by state and
federal supervisory authorities, and economic conditions.

         SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY. Vectra's shareholders' equity increased
approximately $785,000 during the quarter, principally as a result of earnings.
The Company has chosen to designate substantially all of its securities
investment portfolio as available-for-sale. Accounting standards require that
unrealized gains and losses in the estimated value of the available-for-sale
portfolio (net of tax) be "marked-to-market" and reflected as a separate item in
the shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet. This results in
fluctuations in equity (both increases and decreases) resulting from changes in
the market value of the entire securities portfolio. There was essentially no
change in unrealized loss on securities available for sale at March 31, 1996
from the balance at December 31, 1995.

         NET INTEREST INCOME. For most financial institutions, the primary
component of earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, principally from loans and investment
securities, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and
borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, net
interest spread and net interest margin. Volume refers to the average dollar
levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest
spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning
assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin
refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets and is
influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table sets forth information for the periods indicated with regard
to average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total dollar
amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields or costs, net interest income,
net interest spread, net interest margin and the ratio of average
interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for Vectra.
These schedules include no adjustments related to tax-exempt interest as such
interest has not been significant.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased $826,000 to $7.9 million in
the first quarter of 1996 from $8.7 million in the same quarter of 1995. The
decrease was primarily a result of asset mix change with average loans
increasing by $24.6 million while average investments declined by $63.4 million.
These changes are consistent with management's desire to continue the expansion
of the loan portfolio while allowing investments to decline as a percent of
total assets. In addition to the volume changes, lower average interest rates in
the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 also contributed to the increase in
interest income. Management continues to focus on loan growth. Most of the
Company's investments are in floating rate securities tied to a variety of
indices. The yield on investments in the first quarter of 1996 decreased 0.80%
compared to the same period in 1995, due to declines in the indices to
which the variable rate securities are tied.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $743,000 to $3.4 million
in the first quarter of 1996 from $4.2 million in the same period of 1995. This
decrease was primarily a result of a $95.3 million decrease in average FHLB
borrowings which together with a 0.51% decline in the average cost of such
borrowings contributed $1.5 million to the decline in interest expense.
Partially offsetting the decline related to FHLB borrowings was a $41.3 million
increase in average interest-bearing deposits which combined with a 0.62%
increase in average cost of such deposits contributed a $733,000 increase in
interest expense. During 1995 and continuing in the first quarter of 1996, the
Company focused on replacing FHLB borrowings with deposits which have a lower
average cost. Expansion of the depositor base also provides added customer cross
selling opportunities. The Company expects, however, to continue to supplement
its deposit funding with borrowed funds to fund loan demand and to finance its
investment portfolio.

         NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased $83,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in net
interest income resulted from the $42.8 million decrease in average
interest-earning assets partially offset by the increase in the net interest
margin. Net interest margin increased to 4.72% in 1996 from 4.36% in 1995. The
principal reasons for the increase in net interest margin relate to changes in
the mix of assets and liabilities. Higher yielding loans have increased while
lower yielding investments have declined and higher costing FHLB borrowings have
declined and been replaced in part by lower costing deposits.

         OTHER INCOME. Other income increased $415,000 to $1.1 million in the
first quarter of 1996 from $728,000 in the same period of 1995, principally as a
result of a $311,000 increase in gain on sales of loans. The Company's purchase
of MacWest Mortgage Company on June 30, 1995, which substantially increased the
Company's mortgage lending capacity, resulted in an increase in gain on sales of
mortgage loans by $211,000 to $223,000 in the first quarter of 1996 compared to
$12,000 in the same quarter of 1995. A $100,000 increase in gain on sales of SBA
loans to $167,000 from $67,000 in the corresponding period accounted for the
remainder of the increase in gains. The remainder of the increase in other
income was from a $73,000 increase in service fees on deposit accounts.

         OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses increased $282,000 to $4.0 million in
the first quarter of 1996 from $3.7 million in the same period of 1995. The
increase consisted of a $279,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a
$94,000 increase in net occupancy and a $91,000 decrease in other miscellaneous
expenses. The increase in the mortgage lending staff caused $155,000 of the
increase in salaries and employee benefits with merit increases and other
changes accounting for the remainder. The increases in net occupancy related
primarily to depreciation of new computer hardware and software. A decrease in
FDIC premiums was the primary contributor to the decrease in other miscellaneous
expenses.
